A scandalous construction site on the presidential route between Sangmelima and Mbalmayo arouses indignation among Cameroonians. In a video that has gone viral, we discover the extent of the defects on this road supposed to accommodate the president’s trips Paul Biya. Shocking images that say a lot about the prevailing carelessness.
Arab Contractor, champion of botched projects?
The site in question was entrusted to the company Arab Contractor, already singled out in the past for its questionable performances. But this time, she seems to have reached heights of mediocrity. The images are edifying: channels without reinforcing steel, an approximate dosage of cement, non-existent finishes…
« It’s scandalous !“, the author of the video loses his temper. “In this video we see the channels without concrete iron, a poorly done dosage of cement. Mr. Minister of Public Works, are you aware of this charade? », he asks. A legitimate anger at what appears to be a totally botched project.
It is difficult to understand how such a company could have been chosen to achieve this strategic axis. Beyond the obvious incompetence, some see it as a form of contempt for the head of state. “ Is it to President Paul Biya who gave you everything that you must do this?“, our source is indignant.
Paul Biya humiliated by his own collaborators?
Because beyond the technical scandal, it is indeed a form of humiliation inflicted on President Biya which shocks Cameroonians. This road is the one that leads directly to his home, to Sangmelima. An axis taken regularly by the Head of State and the highest authorities of the country.
To deliver a project of such mediocrity is to demonstrate a staggering lack of respect for the presidential office. “What did he do to you to deserve this kind of humiliation??? “, exclaims the author of the video. A question that many Cameroonians ask themselves.
How could the Minister of Public Works allow such carnage to happen? Was he aware of this “masquerade” ? Did he even deign to come to see the extent of the damage? So many questions that deserve answers from the government.
A project symptomatic of the disrepair of the State
Beyond the case of the presidential itinerary, this botched project is symptomatic of the advanced disrepair of the Cameroonian state apparatus. Mismanagement, incompetence, corruption… The evils that plague the country seem to be exposed in broad daylight through these shocking images.
« As you say everywhere that power is over… Here are the tinkerings of the Arab Contractor company on the presidential itinerary”, quips the author of the video. A little sentence full of meaning, which sounds like a terrible admission of helplessness. When the head of state’s personal roads are themselves in a catastrophic state, why is it surprising that the rest of the country is abandoned?
One thing is certain, the Cameroonians are not fools. Through social networks, the video toured the country, sparking indignation and anger everywhere. ” ENOUGH IS ENOUGH“, summarizes our source. A cry from the heart that says a lot about the exasperation of citizens in the face of so much negligence. Will those in power finally react and sanction those responsible for this fiasco? Cameroonians expect strong actions. The president’s violated honor deserves reparation.
